Corrected entry: When Bond is using Bert Saxby's voice while talking to Blofeld on the phone, Blofeld tells "Bert" to get rid of Willard Whyte. Since Bond is posing as Bert, Bert never got this order. So why does Bert show up at Willard Whyte's to kill him?

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Corrected entry: Towards the beginning, when Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd meet the helicopter in the desert, they await a helicopter. After the helicopter lands, while it's rising off the ground, the red stripe across the side of the chopper gradually fades into green. And then, as it pulls away, the stripe abruptly changes back to red.
Correction: It does no such thing. The stripe is always red. There are moments when the helicopter passes through a shadow, which makes the stripe darker, and then passes into a lighter area, which makes the red stand out more. The Blu-ray of the film confirms it is red throughout the sequence. The lower-resolution quality of other video formats might make it seem green.

Corrected entry: There was a scene in the movie showing Plenty returning to Bond's room, seeing him with Tiffany, and angrily going through Tiffany's purse to find her address (presumably to exact some sort of revenge). However, this scene was deleted in the final cut, leaving us with no clue whatsoever of how Plenty shows up at Tiffany's home.
Correction: There are any number of ways Plenty could have ended up in Tiffany Case's pool. The fact that a deleted scene exists to explain it proves this isn't a mistake - that just happened offscreen.

Correction: The fact that Bert shows up indicates he must have gotten the order at some point. Perhaps Blofeld contacted him directly to double check on his progress.
